Yes, there is a difference between loving someone and seeing someone. The thing is, not a lot of people bother to give it enough thinking time. Even I don't, but at 8:00 on a Friday, you can't really expect me to think of anything even remotely productive do you? I probably should be at the wrap party for a senior capstone. (For those that don't know, a wrap party is a -wrap up- party for those that helped make a film. Hey, any excuse to party.) But, no, instead I am here thiking about love and relationships. Go figure.
First off, let me restate there is a difference between loving someone and seeing someone. I am pointing this out because it is what I am trying to prove. I am going to use several examples of how you can love someone and not be seeing them, and then I will show some examples of how you can be seeing someone and not love them. Through this method, I will show that although I may love people (hint hint) I am not seeing them. Why am I not seeing them even if I love them? Well, you see the examples, and you be the judge of that. JKa and I - This is the first example to bless us with its presence. Yes, I do think I truly love her, and yes she says that she does love me. However, we are not seeing each other because of the distance. We live across the United States, and to try and form a long distance relationship is not something either of us are looking to do at this point (or in the immediate future). I do, however, care about her very deeply, far more than I do for the well being of most of my friends. It goes beyond normal caring though. To simply say that I care is not enough. It feels as if the word itself is not fully capable of expressing the capacity for which I care and want the best for her. And yet, we are not going out. (Ed- That is as of this posting. Should something change later, then I guess my argument falls apart.) Rae and Mark - Two friends from college, who have admitted that they love each other, but are not seeing each other because their academics come before everything else, and I do mean everything. Those two even set aside their social lives in the name of homework. When asked, both of them said that they love the other person far too much to start seeing them. They have surpassed the bf/gf love and have reached a level of care and concern for each other that is almost overpowering.
Hmmm, I just noticed, both situations exist because while they may love, they are not seeing each other due to circumstances. What is everyone else's opinion? My argument kinda just dissolved under my feet. o.O
